Congrats on the test results. I understand where you are coming from on the saliva thing. I pretty much sailed through RX treatment, then 2 weeks after I finished, I had a terrible taste in my mouth show up plus this thick mucous. Sometimes I nearly gag. I am six weeks post TX and have been told it could take up to a year before it improves. Everyone is different. None of us get by w/o any issues cropping up. I manage to eat just fine but food does not taste nearly as good. Can't complain when a lot of folks cannot even eat. It's just one day at a time, all any of us can do.
